Reply to comment by NinjaSant4 in Rhode Island Renters! Make your voice heard! Thursday, March 2nd, 4pm (ish) You can testify! If you have been personally impacted by any of the policies in the bill, it’s helpful to share your experiences with the Representatives by Seasnek
It's not just the pandemic... people abuse the court system all the time. The free-market sets the price. A person renting can choose who they rent from, which is unlike a unitlity company. It's a poor argument and uneducated argument. Tenants are locked into a rent price per lease, which is not the same as a utility company.

You are totally right, landlords do abuse the court systems all the time.
Woe is you, your investment isn't giving you the returns you want because you can't pillage someone else's labor through the threat of homelessness. Such hardships. Maybe get a real job???

I don't understand that argument. No one is bitching at farmers or grocery store owners at the rising cost of food. Under your argument, the grocery stores are profiting off people's need to not starve to death.
We need more landlords, not less. It's supply and demand, my friend 😉. Why are you so hostel to landlords? Don't you want people to have places to live?

Ah yes, saying people won't have places to live if we make landlords follow RULES! Such a reasonable and well thought out take. Regulations exist in most markets, and in vital industries (like housing) there are often many. I'm sure you know this if you keep your apartment up to code.
God forbid we keep them from raising rent multiple times in a year, such a heinous restriction!
120 days before making someone homeless is such a burden! How do all the other states with similar time frames survive???
